I installed a new mother board in a new case and it will not power on, what step did I miss?

Did you correctly connect the case wires to the motherboard ?

Try just 1 stick of ram.

try without any drives - just ram cpu mobo, psu, video card, monitor - u want to get at least a bios post.

AbbyK,


Just for my own knowledge, why would it matter if I has one stick of memory or two?

make sure also the power sw cable from the case is plugged correctly in the motherboard

Because you need to identify a possible faulty component. And the basics of hardware troubleshooting say strip it to the minimum - then add components when you get the basics working.
